Recommended Posts

...and I have a very high tolerence for pain! lol...he had some trouble finding it,but he kept hitting a nerve in my back. He finally got it though! He said from what it sounds like,that i'm in my green zone. Mind you this is my first fill,but he had about 3 cc's in there (from what i could tell holding the needle while he searched for a paper cup for me) from my surgery. So hopefully this will top me off and i can start loosing agian!

I had the same problem, I had fatty deposits around my port so he stuck me 3 times before finding the port. I already had 1cc in there and he filled it with .8cc's and my 2nd fill is next friday, so excited about that, though the deposits are gone so my prot is prominent now. It's great when that slump finally goes away, So good luck!!!!! and congrats!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
